The budget calls for a slight increase in property taxes.

Franklin County commissioners passed a preliminary budget on Thursday that calls for a slight increase in property taxes for 2013. The preliminary budget calls for a real estate tax increase of half a mill, that is expected to generate $680,000 in revenues for the county. A quarter-mill increase was also approved for library services.

Residents can expect to see their taxes increase approximately $15 per year, Commissioner David Keller said.

The 2013 preliminary budget overall is $112.0 million with $42.7 million allotted for the general fund.
